Pelle,

That was my first thought, but I'm not familiar enough with the sound of the language to have known for sure. They looked Swedish --- which sounds kind of dumb except that there really is a Swedish look and I never would have thought so a few years ago.

Nice, friendly-looking people who can sing in tune, a song with gibberish lyrics and a completely inane chorus...

Obviously they were Swedish. They were Abba.

hah!

13518. Ms. No - 1/25/2005 7:29:49 PM

snerk!

Oh, Connor, you're wicked funny!

13519. PelleNilsson - 1/25/2005 7:45:57 PM

We are not amused.

(Yes, it was funny)

Ms.No
my memory comes and goes
Now I remember when you were
posting about driving to Clayton or Concord
in the xmas fog.

13521. angel-five - 1/26/2005 10:33:10 AM

It might have been Ace of Bass, you know.

13522. Magoseph - 1/26/2005 12:20:28 PM

Oh, hello there--I'm trying to hit as many threads as I can this morning.

13523. Macnas - 1/26/2005 5:00:25 PM

It might have been the Hives.

13524. Magoseph - 1/26/2005 5:22:23 PM

Hi, Mac, what's new with you--How are the kiddies and the missus?

13525. Macnas - 1/26/2005 6:00:14 PM

All good Mago. How's Flexi?

13526. Magoseph - 1/26/2005 6:06:44 PM

He is just fine, thanks, Mac. His blood-pressure is under control and he lost weight.

13527. Macnas - 1/26/2005 6:08:56 PM

Good for him.

13528. Ms. No - 1/26/2005 8:48:34 PM

Once again I am blissfully happy with the IRS Telefile system. Less than 20 minutes and my taxes are done.


Wheeeee!

13529. thoughtful - 1/26/2005 8:52:43 PM

Your taxes are done!!! Wow!!

We've only just begun to receive the paperwork for ours. We're not usually able to do it until sometime in March because of the late coming forms.

13530. Ms. No - 1/26/2005 9:17:03 PM

Yeah, well, mine are easy. I get a single W2, have no dependants and don't make enough money for my few deductions to matter. My house is only going to cost real money for next year's taxes so things may be a bit more complicated next time around, but I honestly have no idea. Fortunately I've got a year to figure it out. ;->

13531. thoughtful - 1/26/2005 9:21:29 PM

Well if you bought the house in 2004, and you got a mortgage, you can deduct the points...

13532. Ms. No - 1/26/2005 9:48:08 PM

Nah, got in in 2003. Even so, the mortgage was so small it wouldn't have registered. My car cost more than this property --- and I do not drive a fancy car.

By this time next year, however, the place should be worth about 3 times what I paid for it and put into restoring it.

Which still wouldn't even buy a condo in LA. ;->

13533. thoughtful - 1/26/2005 10:24:25 PM

Got it.

It is crazy what house prices are doing in some areas. Around here people pay over $1 mil for a teardown.

Another nice old neighborhood i go through in the a.m. is very quaint...nice mid-century houses with older trees, good sized yards and such giving it quite a cozy and comfortable feeling. Someone is 'redoing' one of the old houses and rebuilding a mcmansion. It looks so out of place...makes all the other homes look like garages and it is very outsized for the yard. Most unattractive. Rather than the larger home building up the neighborhood, it's a detraction.

13534. resonance - 1/26/2005 10:36:17 PM

Yeah, it is absolutely crazy what a house will cost you in the DC Metro area.
